I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SAY, I NEVER TOLD ANYONE TO BUY A WII OR PS3 ON POTENTIAL. IF YOU CAN ONLY AFFORD ONE CONSOLE THIS GENERATION (WHY IS EVERYONE IGNORING THIS POINT) AND YOU LIKE JRPG'S, WAIT A LITTLE LONGER BEFORE RUSHING OUT AND BUYING A 360 RIGHT NOW.

If you can afford all 3 consoles, by all means buy a 360 now for JRPG's.

This is my assumption of how many JRPG's will be out for each console this generation:

Wii > PS3 > 360

This is pretty much all I was saying...

bolded the key part of your entire argument.

battle cry of the ps3 fan: "just wait for..."


 It is very easy to call somebody a PS3 fan rather than coming up with a counter argument isn't it.

Isn't Folklore a Japanese action/rpg on the PS3???

Folklore is about as much RPG as Twilight Princess. It shouldn't even be in a JRPG conversation. It's an action adventure game.


Your wrong folklore was an awesome RPG u leveled up and so did your monsters... is pokemon a RPG? i think so


Yep, folklore gives you plenty of choices like an RPG. Sometimes you can go left and other times you can go right.

I give that post a 9.1.


Wait a minute, JRPGs are supposed to give me choices to make? All of mine must be broken.


Not in-game choices per se, but the ability to customize your character's skillset, choose classes, choose your party, etc.

Folklore, not so much.

The logic was right, but still flawed. Sony would have instantly announced the game if it was on their platform but Microsoft would have waited? Flawed. The game would be hyped then announced by Microsoft? Flawed, there was virtually no hype for the game. So what I can watch it on my PSP, SE/Tri-Ace totally intended on me watching it on my Zune. Flawed. The PS3 has shown no ability to show JRPGs even though pretty much none were released. Flawed. Your logic was flawed, but right.

What I'm saying is Tombi's logic could be right, even if flawed. You were right to make assumptions.? Assumptions make an ass out of you and me. Ass u me. No, he said getting a 360 for JRPGs this generation is very foolish. Because you assume the 360 will be the JRPG king this generation. Quit quote mining. You took that part out of context.

I clearly wasn't using retard in that way. It's kind of like how words can have a double meaning. I could still be insulting people without insulting actual mentally challenged people...but I will respect your wishes.

Logic cannot be flawed and right at the same time.  Thats a definitional paradox.  The only games website I visit is this one.  There were 5 or 6 threads on SO4 in the few days after someone brought the game up, and Sony fans savaged me at the mere suggestion the game could go multiplat.  Thats a fair bit of hype.

At the end of the day why did MS announce the game on June 10?  To interupt the MGS4 release with an announcement a game tonnes of Japanese gamers have wanted for ages will be 360-exclusive.

You attack me for quote-mining, but also say I said SE/Tri Ace intended my to watch the trailer on my Zune?  At the end of the day the trailer thing was your flawed logic, not mine.  Countless people in that thread told me the game was almost certainly PS3 exclusive, and couldn't POSSIBLY be 360 exclusive if the trailer was on the PSP.  They were wrong.

At the end of the day the PS3 HASN'T shown an ability to sell JRPG's.  That doesn't stop being fact just because no good JRPG's are out on the system.  In fact thats even worse, because it further minimises the likelihood large numbers of JRPG fans own the console.

 


 There was a fair bit of hype....here. Anywhere else, that logic is flawed. ;) See what I did there? Flawed doesn't mean wrong, it just means it could be wrong. You said there would be hype before MS announced it. The hype followed the announcement. And it was about which console it was going to be on, not the actual game itself.

You were right, but parts of that logic was flawed. This isn't black and white. There are many factors/variables that go into this. So you were right on some things but flawed in others.

 The zune thing was flawed because you were saying you could watch it on your Zune as if SE/Tri-Ace intended on you watching it that way. That's how it was flawed. I also agree, and we said almost certainly. Even you have to admit it seemed very likely at the time. We were wrong, we admited it when you gloated the other day.

You're right, it hasn't, but that doesn't mean it can't. You're saying that because it hasn't shown ability, there is no possible way a hyped JRPG wouldn't do well on the PS3. That's flawed. That's an assumption. You assume a hyped JRPG like Final Fantasy won't do well. 

You were right, but the logic wasn't completely backed up. Oh also "At the end of the day the trailer thing was your flawed logic, not mine." You said flawed logic wasn't possible. ;)

Please say something like that the next time Sony fans are all over me with the "fanboy this" and "troll that" rather than engaging with my arguments.

well lets call the 360 the jprg console of the moment then.

It's true, a JPRG console of this generation can only be known at the end of the generation.

Well, the fact the 360 will have 5/6 JRPGs before the PS3 even gets its 1st legitimate JRPG says a lot about the situation...that amount is not excused by the typical "but the 360 had a year headstart" anymore....thing is, whether people like MS or not. they make it known they´re really putting up a fight here while Sony gives the perception (right or wrong, you make the call) they don´t care about competitors 'stealing' everything they can...their 'calm and laid back' attitude is what´s bothering a lot of PS3 owners.

I know.  But his post implied story line changes (go left or right).  And frankly, there isn't a lot of that going on in most JRPGs.



No, ProfCrab literally meant the directions "left" or "right". We've had a few discussions about Folklore in the past.

Why do you think there's been such massive flamewars the last few days? PS3 fans were pumped for the title, now they won't get to play it.  Hang on.  Didn't you say SO4 going to 360 was whats pushed you over the edge of getting the console?!?  You are the proof of what I'm talking about.  YOU were hyped for the game because you thought you could play it on the PS3.  Now its not on the PS3, you STILL need to play it so you'll get a 360.

You were right, but parts of that logic was flawed. This isn't black and white. There are many factors/variables that go into this. So you were right on some things but flawed in others.

Again, definitions.  Flawed, logic and right don't fit together.

The zune thing was flawed because you were saying you could watch it on your Zune as if SE/Tri-Ace intended on you watching it that way. That's how it was flawed. I also agree, and we said almost certainly. Even you have to admit it seemed very likely at the time. We were wrong, we admited it when you gloated the other day.

At NO POINT did I say that SE intended people to watch the trailer on a Zune.  All I did was point out that they through in a bid of additional video content, not some ultra-special encoded game demo or something.  Sony fans said the trailer on the PSP was proof, I pointed out (correctly) that it wasn't.

You're right, it hasn't, but that doesn't mean it can't. You're saying that because it hasn't shown ability, there is no possible way a hyped JRPG wouldn't do well on the PS3. That's flawed. That's an assumption. You assume a hyped JRPG like Final Fantasy won't do well.

I haven't once said there is no possible way a hyped JRPG would do well on the PS3.  I'm sure FFXIII will do just fine.  What I'm saying is that from a publisher's point of view, the console hasn't even begun to prove itself in that genre yet.

You were right, but the logic wasn't completely backed up. Oh also "At the end of the day the trailer thing was your flawed logic, not mine." You said flawed logic wasn't possible. ;) It was irony my friend

 I usually do engage with your arguments. Next time you make a 'controversial' thread I will say that to them
